How the network is run網絡點樣運作

Three short answers: what the two roles are, how we verify them, and how a partner is chosen.三條短答:兩種身份係乜、我們點核、以及我們點揀一位合夥人。

Two capacities, verified differently兩種身份,兩種驗證方法

Most of our partners are both craftsman and country agent, and we do not check them the same way. The craftsman is judged by the hand: ten to twenty finished pieces seen in person including the failures, then one paid trial piece against a written brief with stated tolerances, then two references we can actually reach. The agent is judged by a history: small staged orders first, delivered on the day promised, mistakes corrected without being chased, and the customs and payment paperwork clean every time.我們大部分合夥人兩種身份都有,而我們唔會用同一種方法去核。工匠用手藝去驗:十至二十件成品當面睇(連失敗品),然後按寫明公差嘅書面要求做一件有償試作,再查兩位真係搵得到嘅推薦人。代理用紀錄去驗:先細單、後大單,講幾時到就幾時到,出錯唔使人追都肯改,報關同收款文件每次都乾淨。

How to read the two tags in a card: a country with a tannery base, an export leather-goods industry or a saddlery bench carries the craftsman tag, because that is work the country can actually do. A country we sell into and distribute from, with no bespoke leather tradition of its own, carries the country-agent tag only. Calling a distributor a craftsman would be the easiest lie on this page, and it is the one we refused to tell.卡上兩個標籤點睇:有製革基礎、出口皮具工業或馬具工作檯嘅國家帶「工匠」標籤,因為嗰啲工夫係當地真正做得到嘅。我們賣貨同分銷、但本身冇訂造皮具傳統嘅國家,只帶「各國代理」標籤。把一個分銷商叫做工匠,會係本頁最容易講嘅一句大話,而呢一句我們拒絕講。

How we choose a partner: four gates我們怎樣選一位合夥人:四道關

1. Portfolio review一、作品審查 — ten to twenty finished pieces, seen in person, plus the failures. We look for consistency across a run, not one showcase piece.十至二十件成品,當面睇,連失敗品一齊睇。我們睇嘅係一批貨之間嘅一致性,唔係一件招牌作品。

2. A paid trial piece二、有償試作 — one piece against a written brief with stated tolerances, paid at a fair rate whether or not we continue. The brief is the test, not the sales pitch.按一份寫明公差嘅書面要求做一件,無論最後合唔合作都照付合理報酬。測驗嘅係佢點跟要求,唔係佢點推銷自己。

3. References三、查推薦人 — two named references we can actually reach — a previous client and a previous employer or master.兩位真係搵得到嘅推薦人——一位舊客戶、一位舊僱主或工匠。

4. Staged trust四、分階段信任 — small orders first, then larger ones. Eighteen to twenty-four months is normal here, and it is also the cheapest part of the process.先細單,後大單。十八到二十四個月係正常速度,亦係整個流程中最便宜嘅成本。

Where this stands today: the standard is published on the craft page, the partner network is real, and every card states a discipline and a target capacity instead of a blank. What is still in progress is the audit trail behind the numbers — each partner's own documented years and the individual who trained them. We publish the target and its basis, and update the card when the document exists.今日嘅進度:標準已喺「手藝標準」頁公開,合夥人網絡係真實嘅,而每張卡都寫明專長同目標產能,唔再留白。仍然進行中嘅,係數字背後嘅憑證——每位合夥人自己嘅可證明年資,同帶佢出身嘅那個人。我們公開目標同目標嘅依據,文件一到就更新張卡。

Every photograph on this page is a real photograph of a real partner. Every other image on this site — materials, workshop and lifestyle shots — is AI-generated (Z-Image-Turbo) and captioned as an illustration, not as a photograph of our work. There is still no finished product to photograph; see our Materials page for what we can and cannot prove today. Where a partner has given us a direct number it is published and marked as supplied by him; every other card routes enquiries through the Hong Kong centre, because we will not print a number we were not given.本頁所有照片都係真實合夥人嘅真實照片。本站其餘圖片(材質、工坊、場景)都係 AI 生成(Z-Image-Turbo),並標明為示意圖,唔係我們嘅作品實拍。目前仍然未有成品可以實拍——我們今日證實得到同證實唔到嘅事,見「材質與測試」。合夥人親自提供直線號碼嘅,就刊登並標明由他提供;其餘每一張卡嘅查詢都經香港中心,因為我們唔會印一個未經授權嘅號碼。
